Words to Pages Converter
Estimate how many pages a word count fills, based on font, size and line spacing.
Rule of thumb: 500 words is about one page single-spaced or two pages double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman with 1-inch margins. This calculator scales that from your font, size, spacing, margins and paper — headings, lists and paragraph breaks will add a little more.
